Understanding and engineering electrochemically active bacteria for sustainable biotechnology

Abstract

Electrochemically active bacteria (EAB) receive considerable attention in sustainable biotechnology, since they are essential components in microbial fuel cells (MFCs) that are able to generate electricity from biomass wastes. EAB are also expected to be applied to the production of valued chemicals in microbial electrosynthesis systems (MESs) with the supply of electric energy from electrodes. It is, therefore, important to deepen our understanding of EAB in terms of their physiology, genetics and genomics. Knowledge obtained in these studies will facilitate the engineering of EAB for developing more efficient biotechnology processes. In this article, we summarize current knowledge on Shewanella oneidensis MR-1, a representative EAB extensively studied in the laboratory. Studies have shown that catabolic activities of S. oneidensis MR-1 are well tuned for efficiently conserving energy under varied growth conditions, e.g., different electrode potentials, which would, however, in some cases, hamper its application to biotechnology processes. We suggest that understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying environmental sensing and catabolic regulation in EAB facilitates their biotechnological applications.
